Bmi Usa 4578 Ready Cut Brass Pipe 3/4 X 18 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4578 is a lead-free, ready cut brass pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length. Designed for use in potable water systems and general plumbing applications, this pipe comes fully threaded and ready for installation without additional cutting or threading in the field. The red finish brass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for both hot and cold water service. At 1.98 pounds, the piece is sized for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable, pre-cut pipe section is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This ready cut pipe is appropriate for use in water supply lines, boiler connections, irrigation manifolds, and general threaded pipe assemblies where a 3/4-inch nominal pipe size is specified. The 18-inch length suits common rough-in scenarios where a pre-threaded nipple eliminates jobsite threading operations. Its lead-free brass composition makes it compliant with requirements for potable water contact in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable local plumbing code and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or connecting this pipe section. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
